Buddhist spiritual counseling is a present-focused, situational form of support that helps you navigate life challenges, transitions, or dilemmas through a Buddhist lens. While meditation and Dharma teachings may be included, the primary focus is on offering perspective, emotional support, and practical tools to meet what’s arising in the moment.
